Cuba: ajuste estructural con rostro humano?
In: Pensamiento propio: boletín de información y análisis, Band 3, Heft 7, S. 25-32
ISSN: 1016-9628
Este articulo es un comentario al documento de Angela Ferriol Muruaga, "La reforma economica en Cuba en los noventa", que fue presentado ante la 5a. Conferencia de Economistas del Caribe, celebrada en La Habana el 2 de diciembre de 1997. La gran interrogante es como se explica el "milagro cubano". El autor, en sus comentarios al trabajo de Ferriol, se pregunta como una economia pequena y dependiente del comercio exterior logra sobrevivir una conmocion externa de la magnitud que experimento Cuba, sin una implosion social. El titulo de sus comentarios sugiere la posibilidad de que las politicas cubanas sean una modalidad de los programas de "ajuste con rostro humano", propuestos por el Banco Mundial.

Understanding contemporary terrorism and the global response
The United Nations and counter-terrorism after September 11:towards an assessment of the impact and prospects of counter-terror 'spill-over' into international criminal justice cooperation
In: Norman , P 2004 , ' The United Nations and counter-terrorism after September 11 : towards an assessment of the impact and prospects of counter-terror 'spill-over' into international criminal justice cooperation ' Paper presented at British Society of Criminology Conference , University of Portsmouth , United Kingdom , 6/07/04 - 9/07/04 , .
The paper focuses on the recent role of the United Nations (UN) after the attacks of 11 September 2001 in improving the effectiveness and commitment of states to counterterrorism through the development of domestic legislation, policy and practice. The post- Cold War context provided a facilitative environment for the UN Security Council enabling ad hoc or case-by-case responses to acts of terrorism during the 1990s. However, the paper argues that the intervention of the Security Council in the aftermath of 9/11 has proved to be a decisive break-point to a comprehensive regime that binds states to international legal norms against acts of terrorism and increases the obligations to undertake executive action against all forms of terrorism. Realisation is contingent on a substantive improvement to international criminal justice cooperation in general, raising the prospect of spill over

The Terrorist Finance Unit and the Joint Action Group on Organised Crime: New Organisational Models and Investigative Strategies to Counter 'Organised Crime' in the UK
In: The Howard journal of criminal justice, Band 37, Heft 4, S. 375-392
ISSN: 1468-2311
In developing an effective police response to 'organised crime' many practitioners look to the experience of Northern Ireland and interagency models of co‐operation. Recent action against organised offending in the province have been politically‐driven, reliant on both emergency legislation and the support of a Terrorist Finance Unit which was integrated within the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) in 1996. Reviews of emergency legislation have sustained the profile of paramilitary funding, whilst the Northern Ireland Office has focused upon fears that ex‐paramilitaries would become 'organised mafia‐type'offenders. In exploring a number of developing models of interagency co‐operation in the UK, this article will focus on the creation of two interagency bodies: the Terrorist Finance Unit in Northern Ireland, and the Joint Action Group on Organised Crime of the Metropolitan Police. The aim is to show that an organisational response and a policing strategy within Northern Ireland directed against 'terrorist funding' is now the integrated criminal police response to all forms of crime in Northern Ireland. With the creation of the National Crime Squad and a statutory National Criminal Intelligence Service in April 1998, the prospect of these developments to be extended throughout the UK are all the more apparent. Despite the additional political momentum to enhance European‐wide action against 'international organised crime' it is cautioned that recent UK interagency initiatives lack transparency, and pose major challenges to existing structures of accountability.
